106 clutch questions

Red_neck · #1 10-01-2013, 11:38 PM

I have a cub 106 and I'm looking to replace the clutch since the old one has 3 giant ovals instead of circle holes. I know what kind of disc I'm going with and I'm gonna get the pressure plates resurfaced and all that. I just need to know exactly how to get it out first. The guy I bought it from adjusted the clutch or so he said. The release and adjusting rod is where he said he adjusted it. It doesn't have any slop in it but it just looks like it's to tight but i don't know. It works great in 1st gear but 2nd and 3rd are useless unless on pavement or flat ground. Anyway, do I need to just remove the nut on the release and adjusting rod then unbolt the release lever and drive the spiral pins out of the back of the shaft? And after that I'm lost. What's the easiest way to take it loose from the engine? I was wanting to start on it this weekend but I need some info before I just go at it. Thanks in advance

You will have to pull the engine out. To get the driveshaft out. Remove the rear pin. Pivot arm pin/bolt and adjustment rod and it should slide right out. As for attaching to the engine it just kind of sits in there you will see what I'm talkim g about when you go to move the engine forward

Ok so I couldn't wait. I got the driveshaft out tonight. No problems at all. The whole thing is out. So what's next? It looks like if I take the front pressure plate off that everything is under pressure and it will just fly apart. Is that right?

Are you saying you took the driveshaft out, but the big spring is still in??

You will need to put the opposite end of the clutch shaft than that of the plates and put it into a vice. Tighten up good, with the spiral pin point up and down. Use a 'big' hammer and tap the end of the shaft with the plates until there is some room between the spiral pin and the main spring. Drive out the spiral pin and slowly release the vice. This will remove the tension and you can then disassemble the rest of the items safely. Use same technique to replace the spiral pin when you have the clutch ready to put back together. You may have to use a file to remove some of the burrs from the clutch shaft the vice jaws will create. The service manual says to use a vice with brass jaws, but I didn't have those, so just simply used the normal jaws.

Here you go from the 106 service manual:

Thanks. You guys are a big help for somebody that hasn't ever had one of these apart before. I'm glad there is still people out there that offer to share their knowledge.
